*bonsai is like the following:* every tree can be improved - so be bold, have no regrets and if you screw up make it better than it was before. also, every time you do major work on the tree make it the best it can be at the time. have a nice day and good luck out there :)
Mr. Peter, you have been such a great tutor. A few years ago I thought Gram Potter was the shit. You have quickly become my favorite bonsai artist. You are truly an inspiration. Wish we could hang out.
One happy bonsai friend, bravo Peter and Steve the tree turned out to be beautiful, less is more indeed. Thx for sharing Peter, cant wait for the next one. Stay safe to all and cheers.
I thought the tree beforehand looked fairly nice, but the new form is beautiful as well. I think it needs to grow into its new shape and heal some and then it will look very good
Good afternoon hear in salt lake city, Utah. Peter you done an excellent job on this San Jose juniper. I thank you for another few lessons in the wonderful world of bonsai.
Hey Angie B. Mr. Peter hacked up that guy's tree. I know it's a very subjective thing we do, but he hurt that tree and it didn't look good. The guy realized his tree was mangled. Watch again and read his face. what do you think?
Thanks again Peter for sharing your knowledge. I have mature Juniper bonsai that I have just bought. It looks like it is struggling a bit. Would you be able to offer some advice if I were to share photos/video with you? Know if it a big ask but I am not sure when I can get booked in for a workshop with you.
I have a large Maple Tree and think it is a Sugar Maple according to the shape of the leaves and it seeded and then I have all there baby Maples everywhere. So I let two of them grow and going to appempt to wire them in an S shape. They are still in the ground. And thought I would do what you said and leave them in the ground to develop their roots. And see what they look like next Spring. I live in the United States in Michigan and we get very cold Winters .Do you think I should pot them for the Winter. Or do you think they will be ok Looking forward to your answers. Thank you for your time. Sincerely Patricia Ann Griggs ☺☺☺
Hello Peter, beautiful video, I loved it! Question, I have a redwood bonsai (live in Perth, western Australia) was just wondering if you have one yourself or a Have some tips on how to grow and present it? First time dealing with one, would like to know more from you as you're my favourite bonsai teacher. Thanks, Rob
HELLO PETER I HOPE ALL IS WELL.AT HERONS, LETS HOPE EVERY THING GETS BACK TO NORAML , I HAVE A QUESTION I PICKED UP 2 MAPLES FROM A SKIP ,BOTH OF THEM ARE POTTED IN HEAVY CLAY REALLY THICK CLAY ,THEY BOTH ARE STRESSED OUT FROM THE PREVIOUS OWNERS AT THE GARDEN CENTRE,, I KNOW I CANT WORK ON THE TREES NOW, WITH YOUR WEALTH OF KNOWLEDGE WORKING WITH MAPLES HOW WOULD YOU TACKLE THE CLAY ,
I think all those branches below that Jin can go, old conifers don't really have branches on the bottom third so just by removing them it makes the tree look older and more realistic
Hi Peter. I’m going to bother you again lol. Do you have a good suggestion for an indoor bonsai that can handle 20 degree Celsius temps and indirect sunlight? Thanks Kim
from my experience, i successfully grown ficus, chinese elm and northern white cedar indoors without much difference to the outdoor version. all others almost didn't grow at all or ridiculously slowly. the indoor thing still isn't worth recommending that much, they should really be outside for the most part all year round. they just need all 4 seasons and the changing temperatures, humidity and wind throughout the day
i dont understand the value of brushing all the bark off the trunk. i thought the bark added the. look of older age, i love peter but wish he would of explained that a bit more. does the red add more age then the bark?
Peter are there any links to cheaper Bonsai materials such as wire and and other products for us on the other side of the pond in the U.S. that you may pass along? Or can we buy wire and things of that nature from you? I am sure you have mentioned it in the past but i could not find anything in videos past.
He has a video "Recycle and save the planet" that is about reusing materials to avoid spending money on stuff like wire th-cam.com/video/Wr4aDsNoffA/w-d-xo.html
I planted a larch forest and the needles are turning yellow. The pot isn’t draining great I’m wondering if I should drill more holes in the bottom or not use peat moss in the soil mix. What should I do
IDK SJ but the whole tree looks like juvenile foliage, great job on the remake, I sometimes just cut the bottom of the branch bark off and let the top stuff die off before stripping to get some really fine gin but who knows how long it will last before rotting but some lime sulfur make help out. Always hard as the father of the tree but we must be bold or it's just a shrub.
the redcolored bark looks a lot better. Another thing you get is that you can see if there are any bark beetles or other pests under the bark. Especially if the bark is already flaking off in places.
I still have some suggestions. Don't keep multiple branches growing at the same height. There's a pair of branches at the base growing at the exact same height and that is not natural. Also, I would keep the first 1/3 of the trunkline completely free from any branches, nothing, just the trunkline and keep some Jin of you want. Finally try to decide where the movement of the branches go, there should always be a clear movement of the foliage mass.
I wonder how many people bring their tree to Peter and start freaking out internally while he cuts and twists branches off a tree they've been tending for years. "OMG, I can't believe I'm letting him do this! Well, wait... That doesn't look bad... Hmm, carry on"
Nice! San Jose content! I have 1 older one... and, now, a bunch of cuttings and air layers from it. I guess I gotta wait and just let them grow for 10 years before I work on them, lol. Gonna be a while. I want to turn them into upright niwaki! Do I just stake them upwards as they grow/age?
I really didn't like the tree before you started and ended up loving it. I was yelling at the screen "jin the top ". Really turned out nice and any side can be the front .

There is no risk in breaking the branches if you de-wire carefully. Aluminium wire is easy to rewire. Copper is more difficult and that is better cut off.

Not just a master of the Bonsi, a master of understanding life, the trees are an expression of that.

Good afternoon hear in salt lake city, Utah. Peter you done an excellent job on this San Jose juniper. I thank you for another few lessons in the wonderful world of bonsai.
Nice tree Steve. Personally I would preferred the before with a few less lower branches. So as Peter always says, “there’s no right or wrong” Thanks
Dude, Mr. Peter hacked up that guy's tree! I felt bad for the tree. That tree looked like it borrowed money from the Yakuza! lol
Spot on Matt. Not uncovering the root base and removing the lower branches was not something I would have done.
Awesome way to spend a Sunday morning - coffee and bonsai lessons.
Cool. It came out better than I thought it would. Nice apex.
Wonderful shirt, Mr. Chan!
I like the transformation of this tree. Well done guys

Love watching him work!
Woww...so beautiful juniper bonsai😍
Lovely! Very impressive video. Thank you
Very beautiful
I also enjoyed the tribal drums in the background, they sounded pretty good :)
The end result was really nice, made the tree seem more miniature :)
That's a beautiful tree!
Beautiful tree.
Love the jin’s
3 hour drive Peter. I'll pop over summer time
peter will hold a place in our hearts forever.

Stay well stay safe
Too many gins = drunk no? Great video...hilarious acoustic effects from the tools. Enjoyable.
Beautyful tree
peter chan i have a video idea maybe you could buy one of those online bonsai tree kits which are sold and review them?
Amazing 🤩🤩🤩! Thank you 🙏

can you do a video on podocarpus care and styling ?
How do you create the hillside planting on a slanted rock. I want to try to do one with some cedars I have been growing for years
i would've definitely removed the bottom 3rd branches, just makes it look way more mature and big, proportions wise

Mr. Peter... One basic question... Can we grow plant or bonsai in pure compost and gravel or soil addition is necessary.. pls advise
That was a lot of work
Thank you for your comment (☝️)☺
Love your thought process. When was this done?
I think all those branches below that Jin can go, old conifers don't really have branches on the bottom third so just by removing them it makes the tree look older and more realistic
Please tell about some Indian variety s
damn, that looked so much better before :) - peter threw this one under a truck, brought it back and tadaaaa
I think I'll try to shape a tree with no front. Good from any view! Does anyone have suggestions? I can't believe I haven't tried it sooner.

Steve! Mr. Peter mangled that guy's tree. Read his face. He was not happy. I felt bad for the tree! lol
I sent the email twice so I’m hoping you received it.

Hi Peter. Is it normal from leaves or needles to turn yellow after transplanting?
What species are you referring to and why and when did you transplant?
Eastern larch and I did it last week. I’ve been waiting your videos for months now and wanted to try bonsai. But I bad time of year for it I think
Much improved
Why should the bark be brushed off?
To bring the colour back.
@@p.tendergrass thank you I'll remember that...

Hi Five
🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
You forgot. Two branch principle!!!! 😂 always wire two branches with one wire. Do not waste wire and reuse everything.
Just cut the wire off. Why risk breaking a branch to save a few pennies?
There is no risk in breaking the branches if you de-wire carefully. Aluminium wire is easy to rewire. Copper is more difficult and that is better cut off.
Please put a sunday paper under the pot next time the constant clacking is quite distracting. ty in advance

"Thinking outside the box" is not the term for creative bonsai. It should be: "thinking outside the pot"!
It doesn't look like a bonsai. A very boring tree.
We all have different tastes - sorry I can't please you.
